Traffic na naman!

Last night, I was supposed to be here but my body won't let me as I was so tired from driving. I know, I know this is probably my secone entry about the traffic situation here in Manila but I just can't help but rant. I keep asking myself... "When will this STOP?" As if my fairy godmother would pop out of nowhere and answer my plea. Haha! But seriously, you would understand if you're driving a stick shift.

So I picked up Aris from work around 4:45p.m. and was confident that we would be home in about 45 minutes or an hour max. I was so WRONG! It took us an hour and a half to get to QC. EDSA was a mess yesterday. Imagine the long crawl from Guadalupe until Cubao. #@&$%!!!! It was hell. I was being punished!

Ouch!

Whew! My goodness! Traffic was horrible along EDSA. I left QC around ten 'o clock since it's the only "window" for the coding scheme for cars with plates ending in seven or eight. First it was ok when I was at the stretch of SM North up until Quezon Ave. After that, all h3ll broke loose! The long crawl on the flyover of GMA until Shaw Blvd was sheer punishment to my legs that were so relaxed the day before. I kept wishing that my car has an automatic transmission. I wish! I wish! I wish! Hahaha! After Shaw, it was smooth-sailing until the tunnel of Ayala. After that, there was yet another procession going up the Magallanes flyover until the end of the MRT station which was on Taft Ave! Ok, I'll stop now coz I don't want to sound like I'm doing the Traffic News. I just wanted to rant about my hell-ish drive from QC to Las Pinas. Oh my poor legs!
